rl`his invention consists in providing a cheap, light, and convenient clothes-horse or rack, for the`pupose of drying clothes, the frames of the different,wingsjo'r below the cross-piece below; Ythese c ords are made to pass through holes in the different frames, so secured in the holes as to answer vas a hinge to the frames, and'also as a rack, on which to hang the cloths.

The great advantages claimed by' this invention over those now in use are, that it is 4cheaper and more easily made, and not so liable to get out of order, and` more easily repairedggwhen required, and is susceptible of being folded in a neat4 manner, so as to occupy but little space when not in use.

The drawing represents, a Vclothes-horse complete. showing the'diierent parts.

A .A are the upright pieces of the frame, all of which is made of wood. o v Y B is the cross-piece by which they are held together.

F is the hinge by vwhich the different frames are connected together.

D is the small cord at the top of the frames.

C is the cord at -the.bottom.

Having th us fully described the drawing, which fully sets forth its construction, its operation is simplytbat of setting it up and unfolding the frames, and it is ready for use; therefore,

v What we claim as new, and desire to secu-re byLetters Patent, is- The combination of the frames AA, the cross-piece B, thecords C and D, and the hinge F, by which the diierent frames are connected, substantially as and for the purpose hcrei'nbeforc set forth.
